The autobiography details the extraordinary life of Sarah Emma Evelyn Edmonds, who disguised herself as a man named Franklin "Frank" Thompson to serve as a soldier and spy during the American Civil War. After escaping an abusive home and an arranged marriage, she took on various roles, including a Bible salesman and a nurse. Her daring exploits included infiltrating enemy lines in disguise. After the war, she returned to her identity as a woman, married, and later became the only recognized female member of the Grand Army of the Republic, receiving a pension for both her identities.
